Yeah, damn straight :)  Although what I think "PHC" is referring to is
the fact that no one in the vegetable intelligence level is buying 85's
anymore.  The reason?  Haven't we heard this over and over again?  "I
heard the 85 isn't 'user-friendly'."... sheesh :)  If only people would
read the manuals.... ;D

I must say however, that the 85 is BY FAR the best calc you can get in
the ~ $99 range (except for the 86, but that one is ~ $120).  It's got
power, zshell, and those nifty little menus. :)

It's about time they stopped making those damned 81's. :)  What a CRAPPY
calculator!
